Frozen Turkey Juice

so I made a giant turkey over the weekend and wondered what to do with all the wonderful juices it provided..

 

so I froze them and bagged them for any soups, gravies or slow cooker meals etc :)

My Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

So it is the first time I've ever made these or even tried them and i'm very happy to say I love them :). I imagined they would be gross coming from a pumpkin and all...not with this receipe :)

1 tbsp coconut oil
splash of Worcester sauce
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp greek spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cane sugar

*first things first..clean and dry your seeds try and get all the pulp off..

Heat coconut oil in a frying pan add spices stir together toss in your seeds and stir! stir! stir! make sure its hot and take short breaks from stirring allowing it to brown a bit on the sides not burn..took me about 10mins or less.. even once the juices are completely dry off pan keep shaking/stirring the seeds for a toasty experience haha.

and voila you have your self a healthy delicious snack..you can add to salad eat just like that do what ever you want with them its yummmyyyy!!

Coconut Oil

So you MUST make sure when you buy it its the REAL stuff!!

This is the one I have, I bought it at Costco cheapest place to get it for the size :)



you should read somewhere that its UNREFINED, VIRGIN, ORGANIC COCONUT OIL ingredients should say no more than: Organic Coconut Oil
for this tub it says unrefined in a paragraph on the back..some say in the ingredients depends on brand I guess..apparently there's no such thing as extra virgin coconut oil so its probably fake ;)
 just make sure you read carefully that's all..otherwise the benefits won't be there.

here's the links to the websites I love I just go down the list and try them out :)

Avacado and Coconut Oil Hair Mask

This hair mask is my favorite one so far cause it doesn't smell like egg after you wash it and feels AMAZING. From doing all these masks my hair feels like its finally getting longer and stronger after all these years of patience of waiting for it to grow strong and healthy..i do it once a week only cause my hair is very dead at the ends but if you have good hair once or twice a month is fine too no rules do what you feel.

Ingredients:

1 ripe Avacado
2tbs Coconut oil

Mash up the avocado (the riper the better easier to mash up the chunks.
heat coconut oil and add to avocado mash up mix and your done.

Avocado & Coconut Oil

 

I usually put it on at nighttime for about 2 or more hours then wash it out before bed wake up next morning and style as usual. you can also sleep in it all night if you wanted too. I will do it tonight its in my hair as we speak. I will add to this page tomorrow morning with photo to follow of the results :)

thanks for reading

to be continued....

so here's my overnight review...

I was having those awake dreams aka didn't sleep good at all maybe cause I had a strong wiff of avocado and coconut floating around me alongside having a plastics bag on my head haha soo I don't recomend it unless u don't care to have interrupted sleep :)

here's my after styled lol check that shine and dead hair I'm due for a cut just don't want to yet it's getting so long finally

Egg and Coconut oil Hair Mask

so I'm always up for trying new things to grow my hair fast lol here's a review on my latest:

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 egg

melt oil to liquid form in a glass bowl then add the egg mix well 

apply to your hair then clip it up

put shower cap on

blow dry it for 1 minute or so,

 plop on a gerban towel if u have one or just any towel will do 

when your done it should look a little like this lol I thank Tara very much for my new "gerban" as we call it ;)

here is my results so my review is my hair feels amazing no joke feels strong looks shiny big plus what I wanted it to do...

buuttttt the only thing is that after I shampooed it etc I blow dry and straightened looked great but I can still smell the egg aroma so I would recommend washing it out a few times i will let u know how it smells once I wash it again that'll be the real test I recommend spraying a perfume or maybe a bit of hairspray to get rid of the smell.. I think I will only do this once a month but I will keep trying different ones and let u know what I think.

here's my blow dried result 

 

A little experiment

before

so I had sticky glue from tape on my window it has been there for a few years and finally decided to try to remove it 

ingredients:

1 part coconut oil

1 part baking soda

mix well to make a paste then I put it on the areas left it for about 10 mins and cause it was on there for so long I used a brush to get it off but it worked..

during

mission completed didn't take long to get it off and the smell of googone is gross so it was a much better final result woohoo

after

more coconut oil experiments to come 

keep reading 

enjoy the hot weather :)

Frozen Grapefruits

so i experimented this is the best way to do it I love grapefruit but it takes so long to cut it at the time and all that so instead I bought the Costco size amount about 9 Grapefruits lol and pre cut them put the pieces on wax paper on a cookie sheet in freezer for about 2 hr then threw them in a bag so that this way they don't stick together ;)

it's so good for a cocktail I added some frozen chunks in my Canada day BBQ drink hehe

yummmy

Cheers!!!! 

happy Canada day
